The Mccormick matter does not seem to
be settled yet. Mccormick himself says
that he would like to accept the terms
offered him by the Boston club, and talks

The Yale University base ball nine is
materially weakened because of the alb
scnce of Bingham, -, and Sheppard, 81.
The former has gone To Europe and may
not be able to return 10 play at all. Shep-
